<\/picture><\/a>Training Sessions 5, 6, & 7 Continue adds testing as above, each time clicking and saving on the next add. If the time improves, keep the add, if not get rid of it. IMPORTANT NOTE: Lasix and Bute are different. If your horse’s time does not improve but stays the same, you may want to keep these adds or at least retest them later, especially under these conditions: Retest Lasix on horses who race unevenly or don’t show gameness in the stretch. Retest Bute on aging horses that appear to be slowing or those with poor conformation traits such as short femurs or poor soundness in the legs.<\/p>\nExcerpt from HRP Rules Section re: Medications: (italicized portion contains tips to remember) \nLasix is a medication used mainly to help bleeders. Some horses will perform better when placed on it and others will not. You may also notice a horse is more consistent when on Lasix and it has more desire to win races in the stretch.<\/p>\n
Bute is a medication used to help aching joints. Some horses will perform better when placed on it and others will not. You may also notice Bute may slow the aging process slightly.<\/p>\n
You may find that your horse does not improve at all with any adds, or it may improve with any combination of them.<\/p>\n
Some people start their horses racing before testing adds. Some never test adds at all. The level of competition at even the HRP free tracks grows stronger every season. Do not be in too much of a hurry to get your new horse to the track. To get the best out of your horse, you want to give it every advantage you can, starting with adds. This will not only increase your horse’s chances of a better performance, it can also help prolong the career s of poorly conformed or aging horses.<\/p>\n
